This legal document is part of a Pollution Control Hearings Board case in which the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) challenged the Port of Seattle and the Washington State Department of Ecology over environmental concerns related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document lists scientific references and studies relied upon by ACC's expert witnesses, covering topics such as the effects of airport deicing chemicals on water quality, dissolved oxygen levels in receiving streams, toxicity to aquatic life including salmon and trout, and fluoride impacts on fish. The referenced research was used to support ACC's claims about the environmental impact of airport operations on surrounding waterways and ecosystems.

This legal declaration by William A. Rozeboom, filed before Washington State's Pollution Control Hearings Board, challenges the Port of Seattle and the Department of Ecology over their environmental review of Sea-Tac Airport expansion. Rozeboom disputes the adequacy of water flow modeling used to assess impacts on Walker and Des Moines Creeks, argues that wastewater system effects on stream flow were improperly ignored, and contends that the proposed mitigation conditions in Ecology's 401 Certification are insufficient. He also challenges claims that the Port fully complied with King County's Surface Water Design Manual, noting the Port exempted itself from key drainage review requirements.
